Conklin Inactive as Browns Patch Tackle Spots After Dawand Jones’ Season-Ending Surgery

The league has acknowledged officials missed a low-hit penalty on the play that injured the starting tackle.

Overview

  • Dawand Jones had his right LCL tear and a hamstring avulsion repaired Thursday by team physician Dr. James Voos and will miss the 2025 season, with the team expecting a full 2026 return.
  • NFL officiating informed Cleveland a flag should have been thrown because Packers safety Javon Bullard went low outside the tight end box on the play that injured Jones.
  • For Week 4 in Detroit, KT Leveston starts at left tackle and Cornelius Lucas at right tackle with Jack Conklin inactive for a third straight game due to a right elbow injury.
  • Cleveland placed Jones on injured reserve and signed Thayer Munford Jr. to the active roster this week, though Munford is inactive for the Lions game.
  • Defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. remains out with a knee injury, and coaches and reporters have highlighted quicker releases for Joe Flacco to counter the Lions’ pass rush.
